This is an RC Magnus Effect Plane! Magnus effect aircraft use a wierd aerodynamic effect to create lift. I wanted to build a plane with a cylindrical rotor driven by an electric motor. Underneath there would be a boom with a second motor for forward propulsion along with a rudder for turning. It would be similar to a paramotor. It`s not a concept I came up with but there is hardly any info out there on the proportions of a plane like this, how fast the rotors should spin, and where its centre of gravity should be, so I thought I`d learn how to do it and share it with you.
